Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cin12211/orca-q at 3142fe610b.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

rest-api-expert

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with REST APIs, allowing them to fetch data, perform CRUD operations, and integrate with external services. It acts as a bridge between the agent's logic and backend systems that expose standard HTTP endpoints.

When to use it

  • Retrieving real-time data from public or private APIs like weather services or stock markets.
  • Automating workflows that require updating records in third-party databases via POST or PUT requests.
  • Integrating AI agents with existing enterprise software that communicates exclusively through RESTful interfaces.
  • Building custom tools where the agent needs to trigger events or retrieve status updates from remote servers.

Key capabilities

  • HTTP request execution (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
  • JSON payload handling and parsing
  • Authentication support for API endpoints
  • Error handling for failed network requests

Example prompts

  • "Fetch the latest weather forecast for New York using the OpenWeatherMap API."
  • "Create a new user account in our CRM system by sending a POST request to the registration endpoint."
  • "Check the status of my recent order by querying the tracking API and summarize the result."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have valid API keys or tokens ready, as many services require authentication before granting access. Always verify that the target API supports the specific HTTP methods your agent intends to use to avoid 405 Method Not Allowed errors.
